Ingredients:
100g dry Pad Thai noodles
1 large shallot/onion, finely diced
4 chopped garlic cloves
1 teaspoon chopped ginger (optional)
2 eggs, whisked with a fork with a generous 3-finger pinch salt
200g tofu, chicken breast or peeled prawns
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 lime (or lime juice)
Pad Thai Sauce:
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons palm sugar (or coconut sugar/ brown sugar/ regular sugar)
3 tablespoons of tamarind sauce/ paste (or vinegar)
1 teaspoon Megachef soy sauce
Garnish:
Lime wedges, fresh bean sprouts, chili flakes, chopped spring onions, roasted peanuts.
Instructions:
1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Cover with boiling water for 7 to 8 minutes, until tender, then drain. They don’t have to be totally soft, just bendy and pliable.
2. Chop shallot, garlic and ginger and set aside.
3. Whisk the two eggs with a fork and add a generous, 3-finger pinch of salt.
4. Make the Pad Thai Sauce by whisking fish sauce, tamarind sauce or paste, palm sugar and soy sauce in a small bowl.
5. Slice chicken into very thin strips, season with salt and pepper. Tofu: Blot tofu with paper towels pressing down firmly. Cut tofu into ¾ inch cubes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and for extra crispy, dredge in a little corn starch. Shrimp: Peel and season with salt and pepper. COOK: Sear the seasoned chicken, shrimp or tofu in a wok with hot oil until cooked through over medium-high heat. Set aside, on top of a paper towel, wipe out the pan. Turn heat off.
6. Heat 2 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil in the wok over medium heat, add shallot-garlic-ginger and stir, cooking just a few minutes until golden and fragrant. Add the whisked eggs. Scramble them and break them apart into little bits, letting them brown just little, and incorporate them into the shallots continuing to break them into small bits.
8. Add the drained, semi-soft noodles and toss with the egg mixture, stirring, flipping, frying constantly for 3-4 minutes, until noodles become soft and pliable.
9. Add the Pad Thai Sauce and cook 1 minute. It will smell quite fishy at first but it will mellow out perfectly. Add the cooked chicken, tofu or shrimp and turn and toss the noodles for a few more minutes.
10. Toss in the bean sprouts and roasted peanuts, sprinkle with chili flakes and scallions. Squeeze with the lime. Taste. Adjust salt, lime and sweetness to your liking adding a pinch of salt, more lime or more sugar to taste.
11. Garnish with more bean sprouts, fresh spring onions, coriander, chili flakes, lime wedges and roasted crushed peanuts. Or make this Peanut Chili Crunch.
